    from the book "Open All Night"
    read by: cait collins

    actually i don't remember which poem i read heh..**ripped** but here's one

    a poem for swingers

    I like women who haven’t lived with too many men.
    I don’t expect virginity but I simply prefer women
    who haven’t been rubbed taw by experience.

    there is a quality about women who choose
    men sparingly;
    it appears in their walk
    in their eyes
    in their laughter and in their
    gentle hearts.

    women who have had too many men
    seem to choose the next one
    out of revenge rather than with
    feeling.

    when you play the field selfishly everything
    works against you:
    one can’t insist on love or
    demand affection.
    you’re finally left with whatever
    you have been willing to give
    which often is:
    nothing.

    some women are delicate things
    some women are delicious and
    wondrous.

    if you want to piss on the sun
    go ahead
    but please leave the good women
    alone.
